It's not currently supported, and apparently documentation for the SoC
isn't available (the "support" tab on the WonderMedia site isn't
selectable, never a good sign).

Boards that are comparable in price and processing power that are
supported by FreeSBD to varying degrees include the BeagleBone, the
Wandboard, and to a lesser degree, the Cubieboard (which has sketchy
documentation, but a good bit of reverse engineering has been done to
support it).
